Nope. You could tell Machete didn't take itself that seriously

Seriously? There wasn't a serious scene in that movie. It starts with a cameo by Ricky from Trailer Park Boys, for god's sakes. The humor might be a little more subtle, but it's exactly the same kind as Machete. I mean, yes the movie is mean-spirited, the violence is way over the top and the dialogue is intentionally cheezy, but that's what makes it an exploitation movie. It's about a borderline mentally ill homeless person fighting crime with a used shotgun, what do you expect?

Ive seen a lot of negatie reviews popping up. One reviewer said you want to puke and take a shower after seeing it.

I wonder why they picked THIS fake trailer to make a full movie out of. It wasn't even included in the version of Grindhouse I saw in the theater. Of all the fake trailers, Machete was the obvious favorite to be made into a feature, but come on, Werewolf Women of the SS must've been (an albeit, distant) second.
